Whether you run a 10-person office pool or a 100-person family feud, Google Sheets is the ultimate free tool for March Madness. It’s more transparent, more flexible, and—let’s be honest—more fun to tinker with than a locked ESPN bracket.

The first Thursday of March Madness—colloquially known as "Round One" or "The Big Dance"—is a de facto national holiday. But before you can scream at your television over a 12-over-5 upset, you need a bracket.

While the big sports sites (ESPN, CBS, Yahoo) offer excellent digital brackets, they come with limitations: ads, rigid formatting, and zero customization.
